Tampere is Europe`s hidden diamond. It`s so cool that you found it and made this wonderful video. Have a great expedition in the nordics.

[@reappear89]

xD xp XD. Not even an opal while talking about whole europe! Maybe it´s some gem in Finland. Tampere is one of most beautiful cities in Finland and still it´s kind an ugly as the city. I mean , If something is genuinely beautiful in Finland, it´s the nature, not the cites at all.

[@ratyjoona]

@@reappear89 There are also cities and towns with nature!! I live in Eastern Finland and we have pretty much nature here!

[@ratyjoona]

@sweet apple in some places, still... Nature is in minor role in some cities in Finland... But in some towns, it is playing major role of that place

[@jackryan967]

Southern Finland is nice,but as you travel North of Helsinki ,the Finnish landscape gets even greener.Kuopio will be my first destination when I set foot on Finnish soil for the first time.

[@rac4687]

When theres an alert on radio or tv in Finland, that something horrible has happened...its always kuopio.. go to lappeenranta or Imatra. They are beautiful in the summer..if you dont mind sweaty Russians in matching velvet tracksuits.

[@Tylran]

I used to live in the Helsinki metropolitan area, but I moved to Tampere about seven years ago to study. I never really liked Helsinki city area, but Tampere I love. Tampere has it all: nature close by, beautiful architecture, great places to eat and enjoy culture, as well as all the services and shops you'd expect to find in a city. And if you really, really need to get to Helsinki, it's only a 1,5 hr train ride away. Right now the tram construction kinda messes up the city center area a little, but you can still easily avoid the main construction sites (basically just one road).

[@timomastosalo]

Another idyllic small town about the size of Porvoo, but by lakes like Tampere is Savonlinna in Eastern Finland - which has the most Finnish lakes. From Savonlinna you can drive to Imatra rapids next to the Russian border. The way in between takes you over an unforgettable narrow and pretty high ridge winding between 2 lakes. Postguard material. It's just wider than the road that it has beautiful park-like forest, yet narrow enough so you can see water on both sides. And there are resting spots to film some.

Just 1 question though: You mention your second channel, which I was excited to check... but found out the last video on that channel was from like 2 months ago! What is up with that? Maybe better to remove the reference to that if you're not uploading content there? Or even better: Upload Content There!!!!! :D

Pyynikintorni (eng. Pyynikki-tower) is not outside Tampere, it is middle of it. Tampere is built on a large area. For example Hervanta suburb (that is quite legendary in Finland) is located 10 km to south from the Tampere's city-center.

LOLOL went camping one time in oregon on the McKenzie river. There is a lake up there we rented a row boat. My boyfriend at the time thought the same thing go against the wind to begin with. The wind changed direction right as we headed back. I might have laughed, he was trying to be big man and would not let me help. :/

[@HenryDorset]

If you like the scenery of old factorys that are beeing reused, you should consider visiting the "Ruhrgebiet" aka the Ruhr-Area when in Germany the next time. We have tons of that, especially old coal mining and steel production facilities, like "Zeche Zollverein" and "Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord" (in my Hometown). Zollverein even has been made a world heritage site now … 😄

[@marttivuorinen8475]

That name Pyhäjärvi can be translated to english.. Last part järvi is Lake. Word Pyhä can have multiple meanings.. Pyhä can be religious like catholic saints. Pyhä Birgitta is saint Brigitte. Or pyhä can be holy. We have many places having word pyhä on them and they are not necessarily connected to christianity. They can be old worshipping places before christianity landed here or they can be places of great importanse for what ever reason to a certain group of people or tribe. Also some plases have Pyhä on them after some happening that have touched local community.. it might have been for example some big accident. Pyhä paikka is like sacred place. So.. One can translate Pyhäjärvi to Sacred Lake or Holy Lake. But since it has been so important to livelyhood on fishing and transportation and as word pyhä means so many things that are important it can also be translated (very freely) to "very important Lake" 😄

The fall in the middle of the lakes, and the city, is where the city got it's name. Now the fall has a dam - 8:02 - which was made to get energy - I just don't remember which factory. If I was pressed to guess, I'd say it was the Finlayson, a clothes (and fabric?) factory. I think you stood by the Finlayson pipe, when you spoke of the repurposing. Like the name suggests, the founder of Finlayson was a Scot, who then became Finn (well - during the Russian rule). So fitting: FINlay - FINland :)
